The retailer said it would start a consultation with about 2,100 employees about the proposals.

The retailer has two shops in Cambridge, one a clothing store and the other focusing on food.

It also operates stores in Newmarket and St Neots, as well as smaller Simply Food stores at Cambridge station, Addenbrooke’s and the Beehive.

Asked whether any of these stores would be affected by the changes, a spokeswoman said: “We have made no decisions yet about individual stores. This is a five-year programme, so we will be looking in detail in the months ahead.

“Where closures are decided, we will consult staff, and the local community, beforehand.”
